Views of English women.

Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, who has
lived thirteen years in England, is re.
ported by a correspondent of the New
York World as expressing the following
views of English women "You spoke
about the condition Of women in Amer
lea, but you must remember the ladies
assume more self.reliance here than
American women know. They are reso.
lutte, full of good health, are fond Of
exercise, and take to the sports of the
field with the men. They do not expect
the attention which American women
demand; yet I think English ladies are
treated with courtesy as real and sub.
tantial as the women of any other coun-
try. There may not be quite so much
~obsequious courtesy shown them, but in
those elements of association which
really tend to make up ones happiness
there is as much attention paid women
in England as anywhere in the world.
1t is an old country and its customs are
we'll established. There is not the
1.-THE of ceremony that most people think,
and there is a great deal to commend in
what American women find strange at
first, but would very soon fall into"

sleep a Preventative for Headache.

A scientific writer says: "Sleep, if
taken at the right moment, will prevent
an attack Of nervous headache. If the
subjects of such headaches will watch
the symptoms of its coming, they can
notice that it begins with a feeling Of
WEAKNESS or he~aviness. This is the
time a sleep of an hour, or even two, as
nature guides, will effectually prevent
the headache. II not taken just then
it will be too late, for, after the attack
is fairly under way. it is impossible to
get sleep till far into the night, perhaps.
1t is so common in these days for doctors
to forbid having their patients walked to
take medicine if they are asleep when
the hour comes round, that the people
have learned the lesson pretty well, and
they generally know that sleep is better
for the sick than medicine. But it is not

assigned to the couple. Not so, however,
with the husband. He proceeded to fill
up on whisky.
On returning to the hotel the man
actually forgot that he had been married.
He went up to the parlor and sank into
a drunken slumber on the sofa, entirely
forgetting that his young wife was in an
